Does anybody know if getting a c-mount adapter for the pocket camera would allow use of this adapter:

I actually have one of these adapters and an Optar 8mm lens that I use on my Super-16 camera. I've been thinking about selling all of my glass to get canon stuff since I have a EF BMCC. But with the pocket cam announced now I'm considering hanging onto it because it's a great wide lens for super-16. I'm thinking if I get something like the Rokinon 8mm it's going to have more distortion.

All these choices have me confused but I don't have enough dough to keep it all!

I would just get a PL to MFT adapter and be done with it. Simple.

That definitely would be a cleaner setup. Basically I already have this adapter sitting on my desk so I was wondering if the double-adapter would work.

I guess it seems like it would work in theory, but I was just wondering if anybody else had tried such a thing, perhaps on a GH2 or something - using double adapters (mtf-2-c plus c-to-pl). I'm wondering if I'll have focus issues and/or the lens will be in danger of falling off?

It wouldn't be something I'd want to chance, and I'd worry about any imperfections in tolerances compounding and screwing with focus. Would it work; probably, would it be something I'd want to throw a follow-focus onto... nope-- least of all if they were my lenses.

Hmm the more I think about it, best case scenario it's gonna be a minor hassle on a shoot.
